Zeolites are solid minerals made using silicon, oxygen, and aluminum, which form a framework of cavities to hold water or other small molecules. They are three-dimensional crystalline structures with gaps that are either mined from the volcanic rocks or synthesized industrially on a large scale from aluminosilicate gels. They have interconnected channels of distinct sizes and shapes due to diverse crystal structures and chemical compositions. At present, they find extensive applications in the refinery, biogas, construction, detergents, agriculture, medical, and nuclear industries across the globe.

Zeolite Market Trends:

At present, there is a rise in the utilization of zeolites in the detergent industry as a substitute for phosphates due to their water softening properties. This, along with their increasing employment in the petrochemical industry as a catalyst for accelerating chemical reactions, represents one of the key factors driving the market. Moreover, there is a rise in the usage of zeolites in the production of high-quality transportation fuels and chemical products on account of their stability, cleansing ability, and superior activity. This, coupled with stringent regulations implemented by governments of several countries to use cleaner fuels is propelling the growth of the market. In addition, the rising employment of zeolites in the water treatment industry to adsorb various materials in drying, purifying, and separating processes is positively influencing the market. Besides this, the growing usage of zeolites in fertilizers and soil amendment procedures due to their high ion exchange and water retention capacity is catalyzing the demand for zeolites around the world.
